Definitions

  • oil flooding a phenomenon referred to as "oil flooding".
  • the majority of the oil is maintained toward the upper crown of the piston, and oil trickles into the ring belt area.
  • the first ring groove floods, whereupon the oil consumption control characteristic is lost.
  • a secondary standing wave of oil forms at the upper edge of the first ring groove. Exposure of this oil to the flame front decomposes and carbonizes the oil in the standing wave, generating soot and formation of carbon deposits.
  • it is desirable to maintain a continual supply of oil in the ring area of a piston too much can be detrimental to the life of the engine and can also reduce the engine performance.
  • the upper crown 16 of the piston 10 is represented here as having an upper surface 36 with a combustion bowl 38 recessed therein to provide a desired gas flow with the cylinder bore.
  • An outer wall or ring belt 40 extends downwardly from the upper surface 36, with at least one annular ring groove 42 being formed in the ring belt 40 for floating receipt of a piston ring 44.
  • the piston ring 44 when properly functioning in its free floating state, facilitates guiding the piston 10 during reciprocation within the cylinder bore, while also sealing combustion gases and inhibiting the passage of oil upwardly thereby from below the piston body 12.
